LAUNCHING A LIFERAFT
Check painter is tied somewhere secure Pull out sufficient line to reach ship’s side
Release senhouse slip Carry to side of vessel, checkfor obstructions and throw in
Pull painter to inflate raft
Pull raft alongside and climb inwithout getting wet
7. If necessary, cut painter with knife kept in arch and move away

RIGHTING A LIFERAFT
OHT 4.3.1
SURVIVAL AFTER LAUNCHING
1. Move away from sinkingship by paddling or by usingsea anchor rolled into a balland thrown in direction youwant to go. Once clear,wind will blow you faster
2. Look for survivors. Usequoit to reach them
3. Lift survivors into raft fromunder arms
4. Keep life raft together 5. Set off EPIRB 6. Set the sea anchor
7. Take sea-sickness tablets 8. Collect and ration freshwater
9. Use flares and radarreflector to aid detection
OHT 4.3.2
SURVIVAL AFTER LAUNCHING
• Read instruction card
• Skipper in charge
• Seasickness tablets to everyone
• Check sea anchor
• Bale out water
• Check buoyancy chambers
• Don’t drink sea water
• Collect rain water
• Post lookouts
• Use flares correctly
• No water rations for 24 hrs
• Beware of salty food (fish, birds)
• Watch for sharks
• Positive attitude
